Unlock your next career steps, quicker.

You’ve ticked all the boxes — Ivy League, top-tier jobs, and the accolades to match. But now, you’re seeking joy beyond just milestones.

I get it. Achievement doesn't always equal fulfillment.

But here’s the plot twist: having time to exercise, maintain strong friendships, and having the energy to show up for others outside of work aren’t just “nice-to-haves” — they’re the catalysts for sustained peak career performance and long-term success.

Drawing on transformational leadership coaching techniques and my own career transition out of practicing law, I support you in:

  • Exploring careers that bring you joy,

  • Leveraging your existing skills,

  • Redefining what success means to you, and/or

  • Empowering your entrepreneurial journey.

  • "Kara has been an invaluable sounding board for navigating my career path. As an in-house attorney at a large company, I've had my share of challenges that have left me feeling frustrated and confused on how to move forward. Kara's ability to break these down into manageable issues and to provide clear, actionable advice has given me the perspective I need to feel confident in my next steps. One time, for example, I felt unsure how to handle a massive project with overlapping responsibilities and lack of ownership. Kara helped me come up with multiple strategies on how I could address my concerns without overstepping. Thanks to her, I have been able to adapt to difficult situations and build stronger connections with my coworkers. I cannot recommend Kara enough!"

I’m the Director of a non-profit organization and was looking to figure out the next step in my career after many years at my organization. Kara knows how to listen deeply and offer insightful and actionable advice. Her approach is both thoughtful and empowering because she encourages self-reflection to get clarity on career goals. And somehow, she makes the whole process feel like a chat with a friend. Whether you're looking to find more fulfillment, need a fresh perspective on your career, or need a career pivot, she’s got an amazing way of clearing up the fog."

  • "Kara's perspective was both frank and insightful, especially hearing about her journey and the steps she took in career. She gave practical advice on managing a transition, highlighting the value of taking intermediate steps/roles and using them as stepping stones. Kara's openness about the challenges she faced and her methodical approach to finding career fulfillment are helpful to anyone contemplating a similar shift. Her approach encourages both career planning and defining what success means to us personally."

  • “Kara helped me identify and articulate what she calls, ‘unfair advantages:’ my unique skills and experiences so that the right employer clearly understands what I can offer above and beyond the standard skillset in my industry.”

    Executive Creative Director, Consumer Goods Company

  • "Kara was able to connect the dots right away and see through the challenges I was facing in telling my story in a comprehensive, simple, and truthful way. I'm so grateful I got to work with Kara and I want to do it again in the future. I recommend her services any day.”

Meet your guide

Hi, I’m Kara Ebel.

After graduating from Cornell Law School and Université Paris 1 Pathéon-Sorbonne, I cut my teeth in New York City as an attorney, representing Fortune 500 companies.

In a professional plot twist that can only be described as “you really can’t make this stuff up,” I finally admitted to myself that the practice of law wasn’t the dream career I was hoping it would be, despite the hours and effort I had put into it and the fantastic people I worked with.

Now, I help others find fulfillment and meaning in their careers by discovering work aligned with who they are.
